You brandish the weapon used in the spell's casting and make a ranged attack with it against one creature. On a hit, the target suffers the weapon attack's normal effects, surges with purple energy and becomes translucent. The weapon returns to your hand, or drops to the floor in front of you harmlessly if it cannot.

At Higher Levels. At 5th level, the ranged attack deals an extra 1d8 force damage to the target on hit. It then bounces to an enemy within it's short range distance and deals 1d8 force damage to it. The initial ranged attacks force damage increases by 1d8 and the number of enemies it bounces to increases by 1 at 11th level (2d8 and 2 enemies) and 17th level (3d8 and 3 enemies).
